Cop out
I had always heard that you must carry 3 PEOPLE on those flights. Now I see that it is "or their equivalent weight", as only the pilot was in the craft. What a cop out!

Amazing that Paul Allen would spend $20 million on the spaceship, to win a prize of $10 million. Reminds me of "Brewster's Millions" where a candidate would spend a million dollars on a campaign to win a $50,000/year mayor's job . . .
